The Serpent Tails: Animals are People Too

When developing and publishing and republishing Dwight Edgar Abbott's Prison written books: "I Cried, You Didn't Listen" & "CONSEQUENCE" The Aftermath; along with individual paintings and drawings; I became acutely aware of the single common ground that remains between societies most hardened criminals and the rest of humanity. I believe that it is this 'common ground' that can provide an opportunity for redemption, forgiveness, acceptance and understanding on both sides of even, "Level Four" Prison Walls. It is through all men and women's innate Love of creation's great and small, that healing for all who have wronged or have been wronged can, not only begin, but end in emotional, and possibly physical, Freedom. All Creation brings us together and Testifies of His Love. None stand so tall, as when they stoop to touch a living creation of God. WWW.DwightAbbott.com Story One: Titled "Convict and the Gopher: a Tail of Trust" by Dwight Abbott. It is a short introduction and story (45 pages); including illustrations of Sonny's adopted Gopher, Popcorn. Popcorn was Sonny's adopted "cellie" for Popcorn's entire life of 4.5 years. One must wonder what type of relationship might develop between the "most dangerous" of criminals and a Gopher; both, at first, reluctant to trust each other. This question will be answered in "Convict and the Gopher; a Tail of Trust." This story will enlighten all readers as to the forever 'lost humanity' of imprisoned convicts, who yet retain a hidden 'tenderness' that must forever remain hidden and unexplained; not only to the general prison population; but to an outside society that can not and/or will not give them 'another chance.' Story Two: Titled: " The Bear Necessities". (21 pages)This story was written by Dwight, about a year spent homeless in the mountains of Shasta County above Silverthorne Resort & Marina at Shasta Lake. He found himself snowed in and 'one' with many forest creatures. Story Three: Titled "The Serpents Tail" (35 pages) was written by me; Sonny's brother, Danny Abbo
